Servings: 8
Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Sharp Knife
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 5 cups Bread cubed crouton style!
- 3 tbsps Olive Oil
- 2 tbsps Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
- Slice bread into desired sized cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread and seasoning mixture.
- Drizzle olive oil over the cubed bread while mixing. I used my hands with gloves but a spoon will do the trick too. Ensure the bread is coated by all the ingredients and that it has absorbed the olive oil.
- Spread the croutons out in an even layer on a sheet pan. You want them close together, but not stacked. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Once the croutons are cool, serve them with your favourite soup or salad!
